Impression of prognosis regarding pathologic stage after preoperative chemoradiotherapy in rectal cancer

Figure 1 Recurrence-free survival according to pathologic stage. A: p Stage 0; B: p Stage I vs yp Stage I; C: p Stage II vs yp Stage II; D: p Stage III vs yp Stage III. PCRT: Preoperative chemoradiotherapy.

Figure 2 Recurrence-free survival of patients with yp Stage III disease treated with different adjuvant chemotherapy regimens. Patients with yp Stage III that received a different second-line chemotherapy regimen had longer recurrence-free survival than patients receiving a regimen that was the same as the preoperative concurrent regimen.
